Re: SMTP Server Port

[Serge Knystautas]

I can add a setting to the remote delivery mailet to send to a port other
than 25.  This is really only applicable for when you "gateway", i.e., send
all emails to a specific server.  However, through creative use to matchers
and processors, you could have a particular recipient's email channeled to a
remote delivery mailet that was sending to a non-port 25 smtp server.  I'll
add it to my todo list.

Re: Disabling unused features of James

[Serge Knystautas]

Not easily.  The IMAP service has been disabled (since it was
non-functional) in the latest release, and I hope we can provide
instructions on how to disable each of the remaining services (NNTP, SMTP,
and POP3).

Re: connectiontimeout problem

[Serge Knystautas]

Stephan,

For now the workaround is to set the timeout to much longer in the SMTP
handler.  The danger of setting the timeout too high is that if you have
someone errantly connecting to your server (or remotely getting stuck during
delivery), you'll have a lot of extra threads waiting for data that's never
coming.

What I intend to do is add a special InputStream in the SMTP handler so that
the timeout will get reset every few kb that has been sent.  This way, as
long as the server is still receiving data at some reasonable rate (I'm not
sure what's reasonable... maybe 14.4kbps, so 1k/s??), then the connection
will not get timed out.

Re: James 2-0a1 - Installation

[Serge Knystautas]

I think the planned approach to use a forthcoming feature of the connection
handler in Avalon that will allow us to block connections.  Then instead of
allowing SMTP connections and giving 500 messages, it will just refuse the
connection.  I think this is better anyway if you are truly trying to just
block based on the ip address.

Also, out of the box we know deny relaying (I'm not sure how it was in
1.2.1) to prevent creating lots of unintentional relays (via mailet
configuration, like you mention).
